JOSH KEMP
Come get lost in the heartfelt goodness of JOSH KEMP. A one man band, Josh’s intricate guitar playing, sharp lyrics & easy-going melodies are lifted by softly soaring vocals & bulked out by a loop-pedal. Delicious.

JOSH WHEATLEY
Champion love-spreader 2013 JOSH WHEATLEY is looking to add another victory at this event. An artist who’s starting to make his mark on the Notts scene, his mellow vocals and oh-so-soothing melodies show maturity beyond his 17 years and make one hell of an impact live.
MARC REEVES
Singer-songwriter MARC REEVES is a beloved staple of the Notts Folk scene & no doubt this performance will remind us why. From intimate acoustic songs to folky Americana, MARC REEVES knows how to pull out all the stops for an incredible performance. Not to miss!

KIRK SPENCER
Intimate exoticata that is guaranteed to get under your skin, KIRK SPENCER is Nottingham’s own musical Renaissnace man, having proved himself an accomplished producer, drummer & musician. An artist who is not afraid to experiment with different sounds, Kirk’s music varies from chilled-out trance to Psychedelia & is stitched together with ease by Soulful vocals. Throw some Eastern influences into the mix & you have something really special. One listen & you’ll agree.
LOOPHOLE PROJECT

After sometime away from the music scene, THE SWIINES are back with a bang & their signature vintage swagger. With Brit-Pop infused melodies, explosive choruses & oodles of onstage charisma, THE SWIINES are bringing Rock ‘n’ Roll back to Nottingham in a big way. Seeing these guys support some music idols sounds mind-blowingly awesome. Don’t miss out!
